Licensed plumber and excavation contractor — one call handles the dig and the pipe work. No handoff between contractors. Call (316) 333-6326.
Sewer and water line replacement almost always requires both excavation and licensed plumbing — and those two trades are often handled by separate contractors who may not coordinate well. One contractor opens the trench, the other does the pipe connections, and when something goes wrong mid-job, the question of who's responsible becomes complicated.
Sunflower Plumbing handles both sides. We're licensed plumbers who do our own excavation — so the crew that digs the trench is the same crew that makes the pipe connections and backfills it. No coordination gap, no subcontractor markup, one point of contact for the entire job from utility marking through final compaction.
We call 811 before every dig. In Butler County's older neighborhoods, utility records are frequently inaccurate — we treat every dig with care even after marking is complete.

Full excavation for sewer line replacement from the house to the city main or septic inlet. Proper trench depth and bedding for PVC installation, backfill and compaction to prevent settling. Camera inspection before and after to confirm slope and connection integrity.
Excavation and replacement of the water service line from the city meter to the house. Common on older El Dorado properties still on original galvanized or lead service lines. Replacement with modern PVC or copper per current code.
Sewer and water service trenching for new construction and additions throughout Butler County. Coordinated with the city or utility for connection point and inspection requirements.
Minimal-footprint excavation for targeted sewer or water line repairs — we dig only what's necessary to access the specific section identified by camera inspection, not a full-length trench for a localized repair.
Sewer and water line work involves licensed plumbing connections at both ends of the trench — tie-in to the city main or septic system and connection back to the house. Using a plumber who also handles the excavation eliminates the coordination gap between contractors and means one license covers the entire job.
Yes, always. We call 811 (Kansas One Call) before every dig to have utilities marked. In Butler County's older neighborhoods, as-built utility records are often inaccurate — we proceed carefully even after marking, especially near known utility corridors.
